Eg:1 You're from the big city and you have to work/study out of town in hill-billy country where there is only 1 bar and only 3 girls/guys ..all with moustaches and tatoos, and hairy backs..after a few days/weeks/months (delete as appropriate) they start to look stunning Operationally Attractive.

Eg:2 Private Jones was on a 12 month tour of duty in SomewhereISTAN. At first the available women/men all looked quite Ratty with substandard looks, but after a few months they became "Operationally Atractive".....

Eg:3 My boy D who only dated gorgeous girls in London went to live and study in Nottingham..He swore abstinance for the first semester cos' the girls were all Coyote Ugly...then We didn't hear from him till the end of the summer term when he showed up with a minger under each arm like he was Hugh Hefner...They were huge and they were heffers...
We laughed him out of the neighbourhood. Since then he comes back to London every few months to re-calibrate his Radar

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
